Abstract

In this article, the wetting of 23 wt% CaO–15 wt% Al2O3–62 wt% SiO2 molten glass on polycrystalline silicon carbide is studied under air at temperatures between 1,100 and 1,590 °C. Wetting experiments are performed by the sessile drop technique. Good wetting (final contact angle lower than 50°) is observed regardless of the experimental temperature when it is higher than 1,300 °C. Moreover, some specific experiments of wetting of glass on platinum, silica and monocrystalline SiC substrates are also performed. The character of molten glass spreading on silicon carbide (reactive or non-reactive) as well as the role of the atmosphere on interfacial interactions with SiC are identified and discussed.
